The next day came almost too soon. The night had been quiet with only a bit of clamor that had happened closer to midnight when Klarian had opened up for about three hours for business. Upon waking, everyone felt as refreshed as a daisy after a gentle shower. Everyone shared in a filling breakfast for free that consisted of several slices of toast with an egg in the middle, two plates of bacon, a plate of mini sausages, a bowl of mixed fruits, veggies and berries, and their choice of drink being milk, water, orange juice or a dark mixture resembling coffee.704Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ18CL5CuTGO

After eating they made their way to the battle grounds, not having any incidents on the way there from the still sleeping towns people. When they arrived, the hardened ground had been cleared of obstacles except for a few rocks. There were ten stone columns in a wide circle. Outside this circle stands five stone seats, similar to bleachers one might see in a gymnasium. The group approached and spread out to look around the seemingly barren area of vegetation. "This is a pretty roomy setup." Ivan commented as he stepped inside the wall-less circle.704Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyvFz7dgD2A
704Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIemS4HAwZT
Klarian smirked with a small shrug. "Well of course it is. Gotta have room for full grown dragons and other large beasts to move around." He explained with a helpfulness to his tone as he walked with Ivan.704Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ05WIyIMVga
704Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡP7v7OKkN5l
"Oh," Ivan looked to Klarian as Amber walked by them. "So all participants take part because they want to?"704Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDe6SU36oWt
704Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIaYlFYNKJe
"Given the lack of walls to keep anyone from running, that would make sense. Why else have an arena for battle without walls if you didn't ask people if they wanted to join in?" Amber questioned and Ivan nodded.704Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡx409lZah0Z
704Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqSRgK78r4E
Klarian chuckled as Amber then began to hum a tune that told many tales of war between humans and dragons for a metal throne of swords. "Something like that, one could say." He took a step forwards and folded his arms as he looked around then up at the brightening sky. While Amber was walking around humming her tune, Ivan noticed faint markings on one of the pillars so made his way over to where Faerthurin was to see if there was anything similar.704Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡf06sQzFMJ7
704Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIvH2cEmlAz
During this, Kross admired one of the columns carvings while Jaylen caught a few more winks of sleep's in his messy hair. "Must have had a steady hand and put in a lot of time." He quietly said to himself before stretching and walking over to another one of the columns. Oin rubbed his chin as he surveyed the area. "Hmm...something feels off." He eyed one of the columns then looked to Jeminya who oddly Shiloh had decided to keep company currently. She ran her hand over the column with her face twisted in pondering. "You sense something off as well?" the dwarf asked as he made his way over to her.704Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7iggAlTTrL
704Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡG5RE7GApSR
Jeminya nodded. "Yes, but I'm not sure what exactly. There is something here so I think keeping our guard up is wise." She kept her voice quiet while glancing over to a relaxed Klarian.704Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoB9PcOG29R
704Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ50GhxBSrKh
"Agreed. There's something odd about these stones but I can't quite place what."704Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEwLhKFbXuv
704Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6yLzK0z02E
On the other side of the battle grounds, Ivan was checking out a column as Faerthurin was a couple pillars away with Lucid hopping about the top of the several foot tall pieces of stonework. Ivan circled the stone structure as his face twisted in curiosity. "Hmm this is unique." He eyed and touched the carvings as he stepped around the column again to see that it did circle around. He went to the one to his right and also checked it. "Same carvings..." he looked to the dark elf that was now a column away to his right. "Hey Rin, can you tell me if these are magical?"704Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYy6bmda4g6
704Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIsoO2uJ3KJ
"Huh?" Faerthurin looked and made her way over to Ivan with Lucid following and looking down on them, his head twisting left and right. "Now what are you asking about magic?"704Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwRjvmgdBxI
704Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOLA2OgY71v
"These marks right here." He pointed out the series of carvings which were gibberish to him.704Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9xFBb8y0DY
704Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7RsQXsSws9
Faerthurin's eyes widened as she eyed the marks over. How in the heck did I miss those? she wondered as she made her way around the column to see what Ivan had before swiftly making her way back to the pillar she had previously been boredly looking over. They match... she looked over to the left, right and behind her at the surrounding columns. I bet they also having matching symbols.704Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIq2arWlGmL
704Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRj2h09wkny
"So are they used in magic?" Ivan inquired after a minute of silence.704Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYV9oGy6Zo1
704Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRIahysPWIf
She looked the carvings over closer and nodded. "Yes, they are used in containment spells and enchantments to hold things in." She released a breath and folded her arms as she looked up the tall pillar. "There is a magic inside this one and likely the others as well, given how they share the same markings." She looked around and then to Ivan. "Which explains the lack of walls if this magic is indeed containment."704Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwcdGTRfjkJ
Around one of the seating structures to the east walked Jalerom and Rose, checking out the way it appeared to be carved mostly out of stone with some wood used for some of the sitting area's. "How long do you think it took them to carve these?" the half elf inquired with a gaze to the party then to Rose when she spoke up.704Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTMjErCXCAL
704Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡi2DGUtbYtK
"Probably quite a bit of time. Say maybe a few days even with magic for all of them together." Rose put her hands behind her head as she spoke and looked up while turning her head to look towards a different set of seats. "Say...does any of this seem...a little off to you?" she questioned slowly before setting her sights on Jalerom.704Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPu7Hiefn8U
704Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxYHhUBFdIx
He shrugged, "not really or well, maybe a little but not too much. I mean, this is another race's land after all."704Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGF9CoEiux0
704Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrKRVpxP906
"But why have an arena or area for battle without any solid walls? That puts the spectators at risk."704Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtrhFrOkJ3M
704Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡa9Qox9DLTA
"Maybe..." Jalerom pondered as he folded his arms and turned his head down some. "...Perhaps they know some kind of shield spells that are maintainable for the length of a standard fight?" he looked up to meet her kind orbs. "Maybe there's magic in place like what was on those collars back in the Directian dungeons."704Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGHR9bb0jzV
704Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMpDUK8mYfQ
Rose sighed and lowered her arms. "Do you think they are still going to try enslaving us?"704Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡn5d0g0F6Rs
704Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTzFyBpan0V
The rogue shook his head. "I don't think so." He lifted his arms over his head and stretched. "So long as negotiations don't fall through, we should be perfectly safe and if things come to worse...we will just fight our way out as we run."704Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMfuOLbNwla
704Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrNK1CU7kBk
Moments later, loud footfalls echoed and the ground trembled lightly before gradually growing stronger. As the one responsible neared closer, Jaylen hissed which drew curiosity from Kross as Jalerom, Faerthurin, Oin and Lucid looked towards the north west. "And I think we are about to maybe meet the owner." Jalerom commented. This brought Rose to look at him before following his line of sight, waiting anxiously.704Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡq9VboDM1Yf
704Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRB4PvuCVd8
Jeminya and Ivan were the next to look over. "Is this guy a giant?" Ivan quietly asked as he positioned his footing to stay up as the ground shook again.704Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlmntgF4PaO
704Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2Wb5FzoVfc
"Doubtful," Jeminya answered as she folded her arms and felt a nuzzle at her right by Starjay, making her by habit to gently stroke his nose with her left hand. "Given how we've mainly only seen reptile type creatures, I don't think we'll run into giants. There aren't even any giant slaves after all."704Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9PKSgwtUKL
704Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdqtr0McrLd
Rose's eyes widened as the owner neared closer. "What a magnificent dragon but...how did he get one of those?" she whispered aloud to herself.704Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOWk5A6jo3O
704Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLiphSPy6sQ
Jalerom turned his head towards her. "What was that? Do you know about black dragons?"704Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡesdKtF6Zrt
704Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYU7zvNyM35
She nodded with her eyes remaining on the beast. "They are beasts that enjoy their solitude and being alone except during mating season. Their breath weapons are unlike any others."704Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjqOEQegubL
704Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3pJCqvFukH
"What is their breath weapon?"704Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZRi6TnwxTB
704Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaWf91ObJ0U
"...I think I recall it being able to paralyze a target caught in their smoke." She replied flatly as her gaze then shifted to its rider.704Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXvyRwKPXdU
704Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡK3hSutAuEA
Kross, Amber, Jaylen and Shiloh were the last to finally spy the new person. On the black dragon's back was an armored man, dressed somewhat in the style of a knight or general of an army. On his back flexed out wings of a dragon. His feet were not clad in armored boots but more the shinguard's came down over top of his scaled feet. The man, after the dragon stopped, straightened his back and his yellow scales could be seen on the tops of his feet, clawed hands, neck and around his face. His slit yellow eyes scrutinized the mixed group spread out. "Hmm...this is an interesting mix of creatures, now isn't it?"704Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡV2IJdJJw1T
704Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZHxXvUugIL
Klarian stepped forwards unfraid of the man. "Good morning, Devion." He came to a stop before giving a polite, yet sweeping, bow. "How are you this fine morning?" he inquired with a tone dripping with charm as he rose from the bow and flashed the armored dragon a grin.704Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYLctO0owE1
704Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0kgH29r7Ae
Devion dismounted as the dragon sat down. "I'm doing fine...half-breed." He flapped his wings a bit before landing as carefully as his words had been spoken. "Let's cut to the point, Klarian. How do you plan on any of these people getting your collateral freed from my hold?"704Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDlfY9BBY8r
704Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWNfYL8bkxO
Klarian opened his mouth to speak. "Excuse me, Devion was it?" he closed his mouth and looked to an approaching Kross. He watched the ranger with confusion. "We have come to ask you how exactly these battle grounds operate." Kross stated while motioning around the area, now standing beside Klarian. "We would also like to make a deal with you to settle dear Klarian's debt."704Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2PMGzBW3Rj
704Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuFGpuAgO9L
Devion stayed silent with his eyes set on the saurian. "...How much do you wish to settle it for?"704Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwkkL7Me6Tr
704Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡP3Dg4GZbvl
Kross gave a confident smirk. "Down to zero and to have his brother set free."704Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7vgdic7AzI
704Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiC89tyDqNm
Silence filled the air around them as Kross and Devion stared each other down. After several moments, the air finally was broken. "The battle grounds work like any other arena intended for combat. Participants are pitted against one another and the last one left that is able to fight, wins." Devion then folded his arms. "He owes me at least seven thousand gold in failed bets." He shifted his weight to one side with a cocked hip. "I don't see it being settled especially," he motioned towards the group, "not from such a mixed party such as this miserable one."704Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡj4CR4nzLdT
704Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoHAzCLzamt
Kross closed his eyes as his resting lips curled into a cocky smirk. "Heheheheh," he took a breath and opened his eyes to lock with Devion. "Try us."704Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWFN7UmFxXH
704Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNtBrJVjcod
The armored dragon man motioned at Kross with an curious look. "What makes you so sure?"704Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzHKxv3Ivjs
704Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7M9xJOuLVK
"Because we've all faced many terrors and horrors before arriving here. I doubt you can throw anything at us that we can't handle."704Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQz9CXa7Ux6
704Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8Bgb4mLdg7
Silence filled the air once more as Devion pondered this, rubbing his chin. His sharp orbs scanned the group one more time before resting on Kross. "Alright, I will accept your bet and here are the terms of our little deal." He cleared his throat. "If you win then I will erase his debt and release his brother, free as a bird. If you lose then his debt remains on the books and his brother in my cells." He approached Kross as he unfolded his arms. "Plus your party becomes part of my pets to use in combat as I see fit." He stopped in front of the ranger and offered a hand. "Do we have a deal?"704Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡor1ZbKwP2r
704Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0tAjUbEl9P
"If we do this deal, some might not see their fathers or sisters again..." Amber quietly commented with a little bit of worry.704Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMtGTACsA18
704Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwvwjiuKFU7
Kross narrowed his gaze. "Think carefully on this." Faerthurin sternly warned.704Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVtaxq0LkkN
704Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXXa1BIxkry
"...Deal." Kross took Devion's hand, giving a firm shake.704Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeFQlgvd3IK
704Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyCwW56nEOj
Devion chuckled smugly as they each released the others hand. "This should be fun. It's been some time since I last had fresh meat to use in battle." The black dragon loudly yawned from boredom and laid down outside the columns for a nap. "I am feeling generous so I will allow your group to pick two fighters to participate."704Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgutLqucpci
704Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZ0YPa6EPZE
"Thank you for your kindness." Kross turned and made his way to the center while the others came to meet him. "Okay, so which two of us wants to fight against whatever he might send out?"704Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAXl4KXWRrj
704Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpYLYuGYmiZ
"That really depends on what he'll be using. Will it be his mount or something he has yet to bring out?" Faerthurin calmly questioned in her matter-of-fact way.704Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdLKdSpRj4h
704Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGxNGJVnPo5
"Good point..." Kross turned his head towards Devion. "Hey! What kind of beast are you planing to use?"704Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ98FAZBTned
704Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWT7eWUPyMC
The armored man stood taller with his arms refolding. "Nothing bad...just my 'special' pet for such a special occasion."704Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpysd6mO6jz
704Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡofEaAoz4HF
"Well that was sure helpful." Jalerom sarcastically responded.704Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4PQYDSosYV
704Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfhefeT2Qx2
"At least we know he isn't going to use his black dragon." Ivan pointed out both assured yet concerned simultaneously. "So there's one good thing."704Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4uMs5yKvfh
704Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ114TkTrMoV
Faerthurin sighed. "That still doesn't exactly help us decide who would stand a chance at victory."704Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNkCAw4Vlgh
704Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqhuCq9d7WW
Oin cleared his throat. "If we must simply outlast his pet, then perhaps I have a suggestion. How about Amber and myself take this fight?"704Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFmSHSednmJ
704Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZyIHGNwdn9
"Oh yea, we do have the best armor." Amber perked up.704Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7Lii638FEI
704Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAwBm4UtVNO
"Also we both have a decent track record of taking damage longer than the rest of you." Oin finished before looking over from Amber to the red horned queen.704Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQFJvxBho5L
704Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSxq3XBQ4iN
Jeminya huffed lightly as she put her hands on her hips. "Well excuse us for not being a walking cannonball." She retorted with a small smirk forming from Oin's response.704Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtOR82QKJXk
704Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡf3TQtaPxdJ
Oin grumbled and looked away from their leader. "Anyways," he looked to Amber. "Are you ready to go?"704Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXgUZa73HcG
704Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡH5lYGlQ3lH
"Ready as ever." Amber nodded firmly with determination. "Let's reunite this split family!"704Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4tBOBvuKGp
704Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfaLpT9ZPPR
Devion yawned while shifting his weight to his other hip and unfolding his arms. "Are you lot done deciding on which two will represent your fate?" the party turned and nodded with Oin and Amber stepping up. "Good," he motioned to the seating. "The rest of you may sit and watch your freedom slip away."704Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGEE7sfmW1f
704Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRu6N7m2SXc
"Good luck Amber! I know you got this!" Ivan encouraged as he quickly gave her a tight hug.704Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcd9XCfbSVG
704Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJykoJYXHvu
"Thanks!" the golden dragon replied confidently with her own return of the embrace.704Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5Dg0YaUa7f
704Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6dqXRxnxyO
"Come on Ivan, you can hug your love interest after she wins." Rose called out and Ivan broke the hug, and gave a quick wave as he ran over to the stone bleachers to join the rest of the party. Once it was just he and the duo, Devion looked back over his shoulder and gave a whistle. The black dragon shifted its tail and thumped it hard on the ground once before going back to sleep.704Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9tefuHFAXJ
704Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdnT3MCG2O4
Amber stretched her arms above her head before twisting her body left then right. "This feels like the first fire elves trial." She looked to Oin as she brought her arms down. "What do you think we're facing?"704Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡL97to5AajF
704Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCEdrgWlMJ5
"No idea but if it follows the same rules, even if killing is allowed, we just need to incapacitated it and we win. Shouldn't be too hard with my spells and your size." Oin answered as his neck cracked when he tilted his head left and right.704Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2N23sXxDTJ
704Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ57gy9vx15t
She nodded with a smile. "Yea, there isn't anything we can't do when we buff me up, hehe."704Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6qn2py0DvS
704Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaErEsST1IG
Shortly after that, the ground lightly trembled as a large beast came into view. It was making its way to the battle grounds while being lead on a chain by a silver scaled male. As it got closer, it was clear to see it stood about six foot five and was covered in white fur to resemble a wolf. When it came to a stop, it looked to measure around fourteen feet in length as it lowered down, stretched out its tail and snarled at the duo. The scaled man removed the chain and quickly made his way out of the combat zone.704Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGl60DeiH5l
704Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGMu1dscVmx
Devion stood proudly beside the snarling beast and stroked its side. "Magnificent, isn't he? He did cost a good bit of coin but I think it was worth it."704Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfjKBDzpYDq
704Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfFbE39m3wc
The party stared in shock at the sight with some having their jaws dropped. "What in the world is that thing?" Faerthurin questioned while mentally noting the dragon horns on its head and the way its pupils narrowed similar to a dragons.704Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfr6OJJe9vG
704Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0mRQqpOXwF
Rose couldn't tear her gaze away while her mind went through all she knew about animals. "...I don't know. I can't remember anything that fits it completely." She scanned it over again to notice the spikes on the top of its tail and the talon looking claws. "The fur and claws are fitting for an arctic type wolf but the size and other features fit more with a dragon race." After a moment more, Rose lowered her head slightly and her tone of voice fell into one of great displeasure. "I don't think this creature was made naturally by nature."704Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡilhh9fiIJL
704Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZg9qvWfysq
Faerthurin sighed and started using one of her skills. "I'll see then if there's anything I can figure out about it."704Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNb7ZdCfgZf
704Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ48XxjKPJ7j
On the battle grounds Devion patted the side of the beast. "Do you all like it? I call it Dragof, since that reflects both sides of him."704Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡToOT4BcYJB
704Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHYl3nqQd64
"What do you mean 'both sides of him'?" Oin asked firmly.704Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEgY3KVAuNQ
704Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQHjJAAUe2z
"You'll find out," he glanced over towards the focusing dark elf, "sooner or later I would suspect." He smirked as her inspecting gaze turned into a glare upon him of disgust. "Now then, the rules are simple." He began as he set his sights on Oin and Amber. "There will be no magic allowed but natural skills are permitted."704Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSIy7ZPIU9H
704Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYw5mq6sFYx
"What?!" the shout erupted in unison from the bleachers with Kross having stood up with Ivan.704Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcIBiuYVYoD
704Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYSl48l4yBS
"Hey!" Kross snapped, drawing Devion to look over calmly. "Why did you leave that part out when I asked earlier?!"704Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoc3UM6rYF8
704Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5CODlcYCXt
"You didn't ask about the rules. You simply asked about the battle grounds." The owner calmly stated with a smug shrug.704Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiL5JanZjA5
704Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeoyvS3Qc92
Kross growled with his jaw tense. "You knew exactly what I meant by that question."704Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8pflQAM71V
704Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYOwdqXqZzI
The dark elf rubbed the bridge of her nose with her eyes closed. "Kross, just sit down now. He's not worth your energy...not right now at least."704Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbaMQUUy5aW
704Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYXMeH8JMPw
"We can rub it in his face later when his little trick backfires." Rose added and looked over to a concerned Ivan. "You too. Amber will be fine." The two males slowly sat down displeased and worried.704Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡepj8AKAZ0o
704Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrhPbEIWDXS
Amber gulped nervous after hearing the 'no magic' rule. "I think we might be in trouble."704Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSkOA3tkIjf
704Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaJVBdzmQQi
"We'll get through this. We've gotten through fights before without using buffs and we will again." Oin calmly replied as he readied for battle.704Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJUi0UQAUEJ
704Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4J2ABbMto9
The owner gave his beast another stroke. "Have fun and you may have a tiny treat during this fight." He walked away from Dragof to stand outside of the columns. He lifted his hand into the air. "Ready?" his hand began to glow along with each column's carved symbols. "Begin!" simultaneously as his hand dropped with his words, magic shot from one column into the next, flashing at the end after the transparent walls had been set.704Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEHkrFUQyhW
704Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ91ZDltXEod
Once the fight began, Fae was glaring daggers at Devion with a deep frown on her face. Ivan and Rose looked away from the battle and at Faerthurin. "Um are you okay? You look more annoyed than normal." Ivan inquired.704Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOyjN5TMkD7
704Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLFsUDShxjE
"What have you found out Rin?"704Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtYBCNJAjfB
704Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEUqYwhSEYS
"That beast was not naturally made but was created by force." Faerthurin's tone was low as she tensely answered.704Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0rvhzvirIF
704Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6BzLBNYPWH
"By force? What do you mean?" Ivan questioned.704Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTJcKLWelFo
704Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGsK70zZJf4
This talk soon grabbed Jeminya's ear. She turned left towards the trio. "What's this now about force?"704Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBmauwKtMqv
704Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjHFBFSQlRb
"I asked Rin if she could figure anything out about Dragof since I couldn't recall anything to pin down its species." Rose explained as Jeminya looked to her.704Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyyiesnXNTc
704Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZ5GSYIbwcG
Jeminya frowned and looked to Faerthurin. "Have you concluded what type of magic was involved?"704Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrYks6iSOHL
704Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZlXFXffuGs
Faerthurin nodded softly. "Someone used ritual magic to make that...thing."704Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNT2CZnOZ31
704Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9h8wgQUeLd
"Well that's troubling as I thought ritual magic was banned." Jeminya stated while lightly folding her arms.704Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBwZj5xeChI
704Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2h8CAXrmC0
"Troubled?" Jalerom blinked as he turned around in his seat. "What's troubling? The fight just started and I think they can take it."704Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJeLsBScZjK
704Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrUj7oUVVba
Ivan shook his head. "That animal was made using banned magic."704Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNHXBFqcFFh
704Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrXZT5ZQfBF
The rogue turned his attention to Faerthurin. "What?"704Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoanHa5Vr1N
704Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwjzRCjJCYL
She took a breath and sighed. "Someone fused an arctic wolf and a dragon together using ritual magic. That type of practice was banned because most times those used were in a constant state of suffering." She set her orbs on Dragof. "It was seen as inhumane so was banned and those caught practicing it can be arrested, tried and jailed."704Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvxO742ZrBQ

"That is definitely not a good thing." Jalerom turned his attention back to the battle. "But they should still be able to beat it, right? And maybe if it is in pain then we can put it out of its misery."704Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJZgE1d6xc2

Rose tensed at hearing all this and her fingers curled into tightly gripped fists. Shiloh at her side quietly whined and nuzzled her as he placed his head into her lap. "I don't think I want us to work with this race anymore."704Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiDsfJczPyB

"We don't have much of a choice. We need alliances to face my sister and have a better chance of not dying." Jeminya reminded.704Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡj1MMMMH7Ct
704Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4M7S7b5qVg
"I don't care!" Rose slightly snapped as she stared down the tiefling with anger. "They are going against nature and have caused two innocent creatures to become a monster, and for what? So they can make a profit."704Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡE3fehRoaKT
704Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6Ow6rFrznD
Ivan stood and moved closer, coming to sit between Rose and Jalerom. "Rose, I know it's not right but we need all the help we can get."704Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡistvUYa8em
704Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFWO3Z2MH9d
"There's no place we can send it so it can live happily if it isn't in pain. If it is in pain then it's just another creature needing to die needlessly because of human greed."704Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgeHOOCnK4S
704Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzw2m6V4QbD
Kross lightly cleared his throat. "We don't even know if the yellow dragons were the ones who used that type of spell."704Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡf8TCCMN2ob
704Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtwI41NQGbp
Jeminya nodded. "Kross is right. We don't know who used that spell so in the way of use, the yellow dragons could be in the clear."704Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLZeEgnbQqk
704Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyIDtVW0ZfD
"But in the court of knowingly buying a man-made creature? They are guilty as charged." Rose flatly stated.704Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡM1UWqSgbtY
704Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJZDpdNqKOV
"Unless they didn't actually know." Kross muttered before turning his attention back to the fight.704Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyRZmV5siJi
704Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ955AJq6ATC
Rose scoffed and began to pet Shiloh's head. "Oh they knew. There's no way they didn't know and they deserve no praise for it."704Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2RoFRAt9S4
